On Mac OS X there is a very useful “open” command which launches an application suitable for opened file type. Is there some C++/Objective-C function on Mac which does the same?
Note: I know I could launch an “open” process. I’m just not sure if it’s the best option.
That is done by
NSWorkspace. See-[NSWorkspace openFile:]. All you have to do isIf you want more fine-grained control (e.g. getting all applications which can open a given file,)
you use Launch Services. See the document and the reference.
